How to remove the door lock switch?

I have an "88 formula. How do I remove the door lock switch from the rectangular trim piece without breaking the trim?

Two sundays ago was the company christmas party. I drank a little and managed to break a footpeg off of a friends Ninja and shatter my drivers side window at the same time. Stupid stuff.
I had the window replaced the following Tuesday. The jokers who installed it have it adjusted too high and it catches on the rubber flap thingy on the T-top so that the window is propped open when the door is shut. I have to roll the window down to shut the door from the inside of the car. I have to hold the rubber flap thingy and smash my thumb (sometimes) to close it from the outside. Now it's back at the glass place where the technician is trying to feed me a load of Sh** about there not being any adjustment left in the window. He tells me that the door is messed up. Naturaly, I asked what is wrong with it. "The whole thing is just messed up." Wow, that just clears it all up. BS.
I am thinking that I will have to do the adjustment because the "technician" probably will not be able to do it.
I did an adjustment on the passenger side last year but I broke one of the tabs that holds the door lock switch to the trim. Is there a trick to removing it?
